    A damned good coup is what we need, with the military refusing to react when called upon.

It astounds me that we provided free NHS treatment to an east African woman claiming asylum. The cost of her treatment would run into 100s of thousands but she was afraid of being killed in her homeland.

When cases like this happen I have very little patience for Govt who ignore our longstanding friends, the Gurkhas.
    F*cking ridiculous. But wholly believable.
